    Default NL100: JJ overpair OOP against prf reraiser - gameplan?

    Villains are unknown. How do I approach this hand when OOP? Lead, checkcall or checkraise flop. And what is my plan for the turn and river?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP ($78.80)
    Button ($111.60)
    SB ($34.46)
    Hero ($109.20)
    UTG ($81.70)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, J. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    1 fold, MP raises to $3, Button raises to $5, 1 fold, Hero calls $4, MP calls $2.

    Flop: ($15.50) 5, 4, 4 (3 players)
    Hero is very confused...

    Without a read, I assume a reraise preflop to usually mean QQ+/AK, but villain's range could be much wider, esp. on the button (could be any two, but do you need to find out?). I'd lead out for about 2/3 pot to smoke out a whiffed AK, fold to heavy resistance. It's cheaper than a check/raise. No need to play a big pot here. Or you could check/fold for the ultimate in weak-tightness.

    I'm reraising preflop. I recall min-raises being AK/AQ a lot at NL100, so I think you're ahead here. Not sure what this guy reraises with, though, so go with your read here.

    As played, like gabe said, I'd check the turn and see what he does...

    Downswinging holla!
    Lead the turn, looks like he has AK. QQ+ probably bets the flop, either way a turn bet lets you know where you're at.
